Uncle Siphuncle Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Interesting find. However, if I were an ancient hunter scratching out a hardscrabble existence off the land, I would have probably taken ALL the meat for my band of hungry mouths, especially the tender vittles off a youngster....never look a gift mammoth in the mouth, I says.....

cowsharks Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The parts that are missing are as mystifying as the parts that remain. Who takes a spinal column?

teratologist Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 northern nomadic peoples often feed their huskies by meat found in permafrost - most of the mammoths and other now extinct fauna ended up in huskies stomachs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 northern nomadic peoples often feed their huskies by meat found in permafrost - most of the mammoths and other now extinct fauna ended up in huskies stomachs. I've heard of that; I wonder how often it really happened?

Bill Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Very interesting. I watched the programme a couple of days ago. It was mentioned that their hair could be anything from blonde, through ginger, to auburn. KOF, Bill. Welcome to the forum, all new members www.ukfossils check it out.
